My Blueberry Nights is a 2007 film directed by Wong Kar Wai,starring Norah Jones and Jude Law.It also features Rachel Weisz,Natalie Portman and David Strathairn.The director describes it as "a story of a woman who takes the long route instead of the short one to meet up with the man she loves." It is Wong's first film in English.
My Blueberry Nights was the opening film for the 2007 Cannes Film Festival on May 16,2007.
Plot
A young woman (Jones) takes a soul-searching journey across the United States to resolve her questions about love while encountering a series of offbeat characters along the way.The film is loosely based on an earlier short film followed by the character Jones portrays as she works in several restaurant settings and learns of the trials and tribulations of true love.
Production
Singer Norah Jones was the only choice for the leading role despite her lack of prior acting experience.Chan Marshall also makes her acting debut in the film.
Lawrence Block wrote the screenplay for the film.Otto Penzler of The New York Sun stated that
"Block has stepped a bit outside the mystery world to write a movie for Wong Kar-Wai,the first Chinese to win the Best Director Award at the Cannes Film Festival.My Blueberry Nights is a romantic road film,with a young woman making a soul-searching trip across America and encountering a series of charming and bizarre characters.Norah Jones stars in her first motion picture,which is chock-full of today's A-list of good-looking actors and actresses,including Jude Law,Rachel Weisz and Natalie Portman.Since Mr.Block no longer writes two or three crime novels a year,as he did in the 1970s and '80s,this charming movie will have to hold his fans for a while.It will be released late summer or early fall...."[2]
